UNSPSC 43232916: Infrared data transfer irda software

UNSPSC 43232916 Infrared data transfer irda software, a Commodity code, sits at the intersection of wireless connectivity protocols and enterprise data exchange, though state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains two dozen solicitations tagged with this code, yet only a handful involve infrared or IRDA protocols; the vast majority target cloud-based business software, CAD/AVL systems, learning management platforms, ERP solutions, and specialized applications for housing, animal services, taxation, and healthcare compliance—none of which rely on infrared data transfer. The code shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity for actual IRDA software; the tagging appears to reflect catalog classification drift rather than substantive market demand for this commodity.

Issuing bodies soliciting under code 43232916 span city procurement departments (Philadelphia, Tucson, Salem, Santa Monica, Tarpon Springs, Manitowoc, Alexandria, Atlanta), county governments (Hillsborough, Marion, Collier, Pasco), state agencies (Texas TDCJ, Texas Comptroller, Texas DI, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Washington DOH, Illinois Housing Authority, Georgia DCH, Nevada PEBP), transit authorities (DASH in Alexandria), and universities (Kennesaw State, University of Mississippi). The geographic spread covers California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin, with no standout geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities misdirected to this code include the City of Alexandria's RFP 2009 for a next-generation CAD/AVL system replacement for DASH (due August 18, 2026); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFO for a cloud-based learning management system serving 35,000 employees (due August 6, 2026); the Washington State Department of Health's RFQQ for EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) transition (due July 23, 2026); and the City of Tucson's RFP for AI-powered service automation through the Axia Cooperative vehicle (due July 13, 2026). The code warrants close attention as a search or filter term, but business development professionals should treat the nominal UNSPSC classification as unreliable and base pursuit decisions on the actual scope of work in each solicitation, not the code assignment.
